6 hours of traveling later...
Oct 5, 2009

We arrive at Stansted at about 8pm and proceed to have a, probably, day old burger somewhere in the airport. Yum. Turns out that all the shops, in the departure lounge and outside, close at about 9pm so we have to sit around for 4 hours before our flight ...

Pubs

I hope I am not speaking too soon when I say that Bonn is a lot safer than El Fasher IDP camp in Darfur.  But perhaps you think this is challenge enough for someone like me.  It serves me right for my shameless accounts of life as some ...

It is time to bid adieu to Sam yet again and it's made much more painful by the fact that the sun hasn't risen yet and that I'm still ill! I hope that the meds kick in soon!
